Prediction: Mayweather will stop Mitchell

Floyd Mayweather is an elite fighter at the peak of his abilities. His hand speed is as good or better than anyone’s in the game. He also punches with authority (despite critics’ claims about his so-called lack of power), can throw every punch in the book with precision, and has a rock solid chin. However, what sets him apart is his thorough knowledge of the game combined with the physical equipment and conditioning to execute the toughest of fight plans. Sharmba Mitchell is an outstanding fighter in his own right. Blessed with tremendous hand speed and an ability to pull punchers out of position, he has found a way to win 56 out of 60 fights and capture a belt along the way. He’s no pushover. What he does not have, however, is solid power. He has never stopped a top fighter. Indeed in winning and defending his WBA junior welterweight belt four times he went the distance each time. A fighter who cannot hurt “Pretty Boy” Floyd cannot beat him. It’s just that simple. Don’t look for Mitchell to lie down; that’s not his character. He will give it his all but it won’t be enough. Mayweather by KO in 10.
